"The Deceptive Sixth: A Tempting Trap for the Unwary"
The sixth hole at Winged Foot Golf Club's West Course appears to be a gift, a short par 4 begging to be birdied. But beware, for this hole is a masterclass in temptation and deception. A shallow green, a massive bunker, and a treacherous left side that can send a wayward ball into the stream have combined to wreak havoc on even the best golfers. The infamous Wild Bill Melhorn's 12 in the US Open serves as a cautionary tale. This hole demands a careful balance of aggression and prudence, testing golfers' judgment and skill. Will you succumb to the temptation of a birdie or play it safe?
